The Gothenburg Lindy Exchange 2009, July 31st - August 2nd
THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING!
It has been decided that the anticipated GBGLX10 will not happen. The decision is based on the fact that all the organizers are busy with... Well, living. Since none of us really can predict were we will be this August, we decided to put GBGLX on hold for now.
The pictures from GBGLX09 are here. Our official photographer Marcell Bendik has uploaded the pictures on his website, www.lightchronicler.com. Go and check them out and buy them!
Welcome to the GBGLX website, we are pleased to have you here. GBGLX09 is over and it was blast. We're hoping that everyone was having as much fun as it looked like you had.
What exactly is a lindy exchange?
Going to a lindy is a little like going to a dance camp, except for there not being any classes. Hence, an exhange is not so much about learning new moves as it is about meeting new friends, having fun and, of course, dancing a whole lot.
Basically it's like the dancing community of a certain city (Gothenburg in this case) announcing to the world "Hey guys! I'm having a sleepover party, everyone can come as long as you dance!". That's why we need local dancers to sign up as hosts so that dancers from other cities (or countries) have somewhere to stay during the weekend.
During the days there will be plenty of time to relax and enjoy the company of new found friends, either on your own or in connection to our scheduled daytime activities, and during the nights we dance! We have booked some of the finest swing orchestras in Sweden and are expecting a good party so make sure to invite all your friends!
